Download or read book Ida Greaves written by Barbara Ingham and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ida Greaves, who was born in Barbados in 1907, is one of the "missing female voices" of early development economics. This biography, the first for Ida Greaves, attempts to construct her career and era before the past wholly disappears. The biography covers her early years in Barbados, her time at boarding school in England, at McGill University in Canada where she focused on human behaviour under the influence of changing social and political histories and also published an early path-breaking study of black migrants into Canada, and her later research at Harvard and Columbia in the United States and at the London School of Economics. Individual chapters follow her career acting as economic adviser to the Colonial Office in London, where she worked alongside Arthur Lewis, and at the fledgling United Nations in New York. She published in top journals and produced an outstanding study of the influence of colonial monetary systems on poor countries. This accessible biography provides unexpected insights into personalities and institutions during a critical period in late colonial history. The issues it raises of class and race, gender and inequality, poverty and unemployment, are of no less relevance today than they were in her lifetime.
Book Synopsis The Feminine Gaze by : Anne Innis Dagg
Download or read book The Feminine Gaze written by Anne Innis Dagg and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Canadian women fiction writers have become justifiably famous. But what about women who have written non-fiction? When Anne Innis Dagg set out on a personal quest to make such non-fiction authors better known, she expected to find just a few dozen. To her delight, she unearthed 473 writers who have produced over 674 books. These women describe not only their country and its inhabitants, but a remarkable variety of other subjects: from the story of transportation to the legacy of Canadian missionary activity around the world. While most of the writers lived in what is now Canada, other authors were British or American travellers who visited Canada throughout the years and reported on what they found here. This compendium has brief biographies of all these women, short descriptions of their books, and a comprehensive index of their books’ subject matters. The Feminine Gaze: A Canadian Compendium of Non-Fiction Women Authors and Their Books, 1836-1945 will be an invaluable research tool for women’s studies and for all who wish to supplement the male gaze on Canada’s past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2011. Latin America today is similar to Canada in the early 1900s-a sleeping giant, basically underpopulated, whose potential rests on the exploitation of enormous land, forest, mineral, and water reserves. This study, carried out over the period 1967-69, has involved travel throughout much of Latin America north of the Tropic of Capricorn and discussions with people in many different fields, including highway construction, forestry, colonization, and agricultural industries in the forest frontier regions and capital cities of the continent. The collection of data required about twelve months of the author in the field.
Book Synopsis Matron Ida Greaves - 'a Right Daughter of Australia' by : Christine M. Bramble
Download or read book Matron Ida Greaves - 'a Right Daughter of Australia' written by Christine M. Bramble and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matron Ida Greaves - 'a right daughter of Australia', is the biography of Matron Ida Mary Greaves RRC, 1875-1954, with special reference to her military service in WW1. Born in Newcastle NSW in 1875, Ida trained at Newcastle Hospital 1901-1904 then practiced her profession in Australia until 1910 when she went to England. She worked in private nursing until the outbreak of WW1 in August 1914, volunteering for service with the Australian Voluntary Hospital (AVH). The AVH was an independent unit sponsored by Rachel Lady Dudley, wife of William Humble Ward 2nd Earl of Dudley who was Governor-General of Australia 1908-1911. The staff of the AVH - the officers, other ranks and nurses - were Australians living in England at the time. The hospital was the first unit of any of Britain's dominions to report for duty in Europe. Ida arrived at Le Havre in France with the AVH on 29 August 1914 and was appointed Matron. The Commanding Officer was Newcastle surgeon Lieutenant Colonel William L'Estrange Eames. Ida served in France and Belgium for the duration of WW1 and was party to the early learnings about the management of casualties of trench warfare. She nursed casualties from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Battles of Ypres, and casualties from the Battle of the Somme. In March 1918 she and the personnel and patients of the casualty clearing station in which she was then serving were forced to retreat under enemy fire during the German 'Operation Michael'. Ida Greaves was mentioned in dispatches three times. In July 1915 she was awarded the Royal Red Cross, a decoration for exceptional service in military nursing. She and a Sydney nurse were the first two Australian nurses to be decorated with the Royal Red Cross during WW1. Ida returned home to Newcastle in September 1919. She and another nurse opened a private hospital, 'Iluka', in Church Street Newcastle. She participated in social activities raising funds for returned servicemen and women, and was referred to as 'the senior war nurse of the district'. She moved to Sydney after retirement and died in 1954.

Book Synopsis William Greaves by : Scott MacDonald
Download or read book William Greaves written by Scott MacDonald and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Greaves is one of the most significant and compelling American filmmakers of the past century. Best known for his experimental film about its own making, Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One, Greaves was an influential independent documentary filmmaker who produced, directed, shot, and edited more than a hundred films on a variety of social issues and on key African American figures ranging from Muhammad Ali to Ralph Bunche to Ida B. Wells. A multitalented artist, his career also included stints as a songwriter, a member of the Actors Studio, and, during the late 1960s, a producer and cohost of Black Journal, the first national television show focused on African American culture and politics. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of Greaves’s remarkable career. It brings together a wide range of material, including a mix of incisive essays from critics and scholars, Greaves’s own writings, an extensive meta-interview with Greaves, conversations with his wife and collaborator Louise Archambault Greaves and his son David, and a critical dossier on Symbiopsychotaxiplasm. Together, they illuminate Greaves’s mission to use filmmaking as a tool for transforming the ways African Americans were perceived by others and the ways they saw themselves. This landmark book is an essential resource on Greaves’s work and his influence on independent cinema and African-American culture.
